First run in a while. I was being careful about where I stepped, but I'm going to have to be more judicious about training regardless.
I've felt worse - but I've felt better.
2.94 miles before turning back because I was starting to work too hard is fucking pathetic.
A possibly mitigating factor is that I was pulling 120lbs. worth of kids yesterday over the Weston (Missouri) Applefest. This event highlighted some basic disparities between myself and Household6:
- my radio is on NPR (when I listen to the radio, which is almost never), her radio is on Radio Disney (yes, Kansas City has a Radio Disney affiliate).
- My normal walking speed is geared towards rucking heavy loads and being in the city, two mostly disparate activities - except for their speed. Being trapped in a crowd of aimlessly milling-around slow-moving people drives me fucking bananas. Household6's walking pace, is well, lugubrious.
On the flip side, I did get in probably about 2 1/2 miles worth of running as I staged vehicles back and forth from where we'd originally parked to a more forward location. That running was almost all hills.
Any presumptions of the Midwest being flat are fake and must be dispelled immediately. Note the not-inconsiderable Missouri River valley, which is flat. Everything else, however, is not particularly flat.
I realized I now row faster (even when I max out drag factor) than I run. Much, much faster than I run.

Well, you know, from a sufficient distance, the Earth is smoother than a ping-pong ball, so it's probably a relative thing.
ReplyDeleteYou know, that's like saying that compared to a guided missile, the guys who are going 90mph on the Inner Loop of the Beltway are going slow...
ReplyDeleteRight: true, but worthless.
